Corning Incorporated (NYSE:GLW) today announced Corning® Gorilla® Glass NBT™ — designed to help protect touch notebook displays from scratches and damage — has been adopted by Dell for several of its touch-enabled PCs, including the XPS, Inspiron, and Latitude series.

Corning will demonstrate the superior damage resistance of Corning® Gorilla® Glass NBT and showcase the Dell Latitude, and XPS touch-screen PCs with Windows 8.1 and Gorilla Glass NBT in Central Hall booth #11612 at the 2014 International Consumer Electronics Show (CES).

“We’ve been pleased to work with Dell to bring the scratch resistance and durability of Gorilla Glass NBT to their touch-enabled notebook products,” said James R. Steiner, senior vice president and general manager, Corning Specialty Materials, “The performance of Gorilla Glass NBT, in combination with innovative touch-enabled PC designs from Dell and operating system innovations from Microsoft, can deliver the thin, sleek, and reliable touch-based personal computers that consumers are looking for. We look forward to continued collaboration with Dell to bring the latest in cover-glass innovations to their touch-enabled PCs.”

With Windows 8.1, touch is the primary way consumers interact with PCs, subjecting these touchscreen displays to daily abuse from touching and swiping. This increases the potential for the cover glass to scratch. These types of scratches could cause conventional cover materials such as soda lime glass to crack and break. Corning Gorilla Glass NBT helps protect touch-enabled notebook displays with higher scratch resistance, reduced scratch visibility, and better retained strength if a scratch occurs.
